Canada scored first in the second half as Kal Sager crashed over, but the Blitzboks turned up the heat with rookie Quewin Nortje displaying searing pace to cross the line twice.
The Canadians had the last say as Lockie Kratz scored a consolation try to wrap up a convincing Blitzbok victory.
The Blitzboks are next in action against New Zealand at 6:34pm.
